Hi, friends. My cookie project for this coming week is swans and swan masks. I want to add some fun dimension to the cookies in the form of feathers, but being somewhat of a novice in cookie design, I don't know how best to achieve this. I would love any suggestions, links to tutorials, or helpful techniques. I am eager to learn. Thank you.

What about this?
The tutorial from Sweetambs would have been my first choice, too. Using icing to make feathers is surely the easiest way.
But without knowing the cookies you plan to make and what tools you have available, it is hard to say what other options you could use.
- edible paper, maybe. Like those, they are awesome: Edible Paper Feathers
- or gumpaste? Gumpaste Feathers
- edible lace has a very delicate look. Lace Feathers
Please share a picture of what you come up with
I had thought about brush embroidery, but couldn't visualize it. Thank you LAEGWEN!
Thank you Mintlemonade! This is very helpful.
Don't know about your plan either, anyway here's the tutorial of Lucy @honeycatcookies:

Just another "feather idea".
Search in the site "feathers" under "Everything" many inspiring cookies will come out.
Yay! I don't have a plan yet other then the cookie cutters picked out. The requested colors are white, soft pink, and silver glitter. All of these ideas are fantastic! Thank you!
